5 takeaways from Minnesota's Game 4 win against Memphis (NBA.com)

Karl-Anthony Towns leads the way for Minnesota as the series returns to Memphis tied 2-2.

That fell to Finch, who saw how “gassed” Russell and Beverley were late in Game 4 and sent some minutes McLaughlin’s way. After the game, McLaughlin heeded team protocols and hit the treadmill for a solo workout. Already bringing the physicality, the Grizzlies dialed it up in Game 4 and got called on it – a lot. Bane’s final 3-pointer meant nothing tangible, coming at the buzzer after Towns had pushed the lead to four. Only thing I can do after that is just make the right play.” “Just a bunch of rage and trying to find ways to just dominate regardless of what they throw,” Towns said of his performance. It has shot 131 free throws to the Wolves’ 118. “It’s akin to an intentional walk at times,” Finch said. “Understanding next game there’s another chance, and after that another chance to go out there and show who I am.” And his final points of the night came with 4.4 seconds left, two free throws that enabled him and the building to breathe at 119-115. Just find ways to put the ball in the bucket.” “One of the most poorly officiated games I’ve ever seen in my NBA career,” Jenkins said.

In addition, the group claims a similar protest was thwarted during Game 3 of the series on Thursday. "Saying the NBA is no place for abusive factory farmers, DxE is also asking that the sale of the team -- set to transfer majority ownership to baseball Hall of Famer Alex Rodriquez and businessman Marc Lore in 2023 -- be expedited, with Taylor immediately stepping down from day-to-day operations." This time, it happened during the third quarter of Game 4 between the Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies.

3 adjustments Grizzlies must make after blowing big opportunity in ... (ClutchPoints)

The Memphis Grizzlies need to make some key adjustments against the Minnesota Timberwolves after blowing a golden opportunity in Game 4.

As one of the franchises that rely heavily on shots from behind the arc, Minnesota will be tough to beat on a night those shots are falling. It is not just on the defensive end of the court where Jackson Jr. thrives because he has also been showcasing his long-range shooting this season. Being plagued by foul trouble has been a major issue since the beginning of Jaren Jackson Jr.’s career. There have been two subpar games already for Morant in this series, but he was lucky that Bane and Brandon Clarke catapulted Memphis to that important Game 3 victory. Furthermore, it would lessen the defensive pressure on Grizzlies shooters like Bane, Brooks and Tyus Jones. The Timberwolves would also be forced to exert more effort defensively, making them run out of gas in the second half. Even with the series tied at 2-2, Memphis was able to regain home-court advantage in Game 3, so they must remain confident with Game 5 at FedEx Forum.

Memphis Grizzlies star guard Ja Morant says he's not 100% healthy ... (The Commercial Appeal)

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Ja Morant is still working his way back from a right knee injury.

"I'm almost there," Morant said. Even though Morant says he's not 100%, the first two games are examples that he can produce better. He's getting to the rim, but he's not finishing the acrobatic layups fans have come spoiled to see. After averaging 27.4 points in the regular season, Morant is averaging 20.5 points per game. I'm not playing above the rim. "I'm not Ja right now.

Grades for the Grizzlies after a tough loss to Timberwolves.

Bane played a near-perfect offensive game and Brooks, Jones, and Clarke filled in the gaps but there is no amount of slack that can be picked up for an 11-point showing from their star. That being said, it’s only 2-2 and now a best of three scenario where Memphis will be at home in two games. If he hit that three to tie the game late, Memphis wins that game. I didn’t want to mention the foul discrepancy because this is the playoffs, you’re the more experienced team. There were tons of possessions where he would bring the ball across half court, give it up to Bane, Brooks, or Jones, and stand in the corner. Just had to shout out Adams for being a consummate professional by taking his relegation in stride. The only room for improvement for Bane is he wasn’t much of a factor in the fourth quarter, that could be a result of fatigue from carrying the offense for the first three periods or cautiousness with five fouls. Jenkins also tried him out as a passer more in this game running some of the mid to high post actions that we’ve seen Adams thrive in this season. It also took him a while to get going starting 1-4 from the floor in the first quarter. Despite the slow offensive start, I do have to give credit to Brooks for his late-game shot-making. The Memphis Grizzlies lost a slugfest to the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-118 on Saturday night. The three-point shooting in these series has been one of the greatest deciding factors.

A Fan Was Tackled And Dragged Away After Running Into The ... (Fadeaway World)

The Memphis Grizzlies vs. Minnesota Timberwolves series has been arguably the most exciting series in the first round. Both young teams led by young.

NBA games, especially during the playoffs, are huge spectacles with a lot of viewership, so if this indeed was a protest, it is understandable why this fan would choose to do it during a massive, close playoff game. The fan tried jumping in from the second row of seats but was immediately intercepted by security, who tackled them to the ground and subsequently dragged them away. A fan glued themselves to the court during the play-in game against the Clippers and during Game 4 on Saturday night, another fan tried to get on to the court.
